Hi everybody, I’m just starting with FCS and I’m reading a book called New.Riders-Macromedia Flash Communication Server.MX, written by Kevin Towes, I’m not a developer, just a web designer and I made some apps using ASP or PHP with Dreamweaver MX , but I’ve a doubt, in the book Kevin works with examples within IIS server installed on the machine, the problem here is I’ve Apache server installed on mine, and I cannot follow certain things, for example, I did the first app, (one communicating with the comm server), in fact, when I publish the movie, the connectionLight\_mc is working because the ‘light’ is green, but when I place a name in the SimpleConnect component nothig happens in the peopleList\_mc, reading back in the book, I found this:

In this book, I assume that you install your server on a machine with a Windows IIS Web Server with the default Development options. References will be made to these locations:

Support Files Directory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\flashcom\

Applications Directory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\flashcom\applications\

but, I’ve no this locations because what I’ve installed is the Apache server, so, this folders are installed on this locations:

C:\Archivos de programa\Macromedia\Flash Communication Server MX\flashcom\_help\flashcom

then, the same in:

C:\Archivos de programa\Macromedia\Flash MX 2004\flashcom\_help\flashcom

and then this other in:

C:\Archivos de programa\Macromedia\Flash Communication Server MX\applications

My question is, is my first example not working at all because I’ve no IIS, or I should move flashcom and applications folder into the htdocs folder in the apache server?

Hope somebody here can help me with this

Thanks a lot
